Clonal diversity by asymmetry
892 Clonal diversity by asymmetry W hen challenged by an intruder, the immune system generates a bewildering array of different T lymphocyte subsets. Cells in functionally distinct subsets somehow share specifi city for an identical antigen. A mechanism for generating this clonal diversity is now explained by John Chang, Vikram Palanivel, Steven Reiner (University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia,...
متن کاملBacterial diversity of symptomatic primary endodontic infection by clonal analysis.
The aim of this study was to explore the bacterial diversity of 10 root canals with acute apical abscess using clonal analysis. Samples were collected from 10 patients and submitted to bacterial DNA isolation, 16S rRNA gene amplification, cloning, and sequencing. A bacterial genomic library was constructed and bacterial diversity was estimated. The mean number of taxa per canal was 15, ranging ...
متن کاملSelection by parasites for clonal diversity and mixed mating.
On theoretical grounds, coevolutionary interactions with parasites can select for cross-fertilization, even when there is a twofold advantage gained by reproducing through uniparental means. The suspected advantage of cross-fertilization stems from the production of genetically rare offspring, which are expected to be more likely to escape infection by coevolving enemies. In the present study, ...
متن کاملAssessing clonal diversity in acute myeloid leukemia
Clonal diversity in cancer has been proposed as a mechanism underlying patientto-patient variability in therapeutic response, as well as the variability in the likelihood of relapse and the time to relapse of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) as well as other cancers. As a neoplasm develops it often continues to mutate, diversifying into differing clonal populations. Darwinian evolutionary pressures...
متن کاملCellular Basis of Antibody Diversity: Clonal Selection
The specificity of humoral immune responses relies on the huge DIVERSITY of antigen combining sites present in antibodies, diversity which is generated in an antigenindependent fashion. The process by which antigen (during an immune response) stimulates the clonal expansion and differentiation of antibody-forming cells of predetermined specificity is known as CLONAL SELECTION. The basic princip...
